A missed period is a definite early sign of pregnancy but even before you miss any period there are so many other early sign of the pregnancy that can tell you whether or not you are pregnant. However, the problem with most of the early sign of pregnancy is that are similar to what you may observe before the arrival of the period. Determining whether you are pregnant or not with the help of the early sign of pregnancy without any pregnancy test is just like solving a difficult puzzle. It is not compulsory that every single women experience every early sign of pregnancy. However, it is also unlikely that you do not experience any one of them.
Swollen Breasts Along With Tenderness
Tenderness of the breast is an early sign of pregnancy that starts appearing very early immediately after the conception. This early pregnancy symptom tell us that body has started naturally preparing itself for the arrival and feeding of the child. According to the experts of the pregnancy health and the pregnancy journal you should not make the mistake of linking it with the pre menstrual symptoms because during pregnancy sometimes you may experience swollen breasts instead of the tenderness in the breast.
Feeling Less Energetic
If you are feeling tiredness and are not feeling that much energetic as you normally used to be then this may also be an early sign of pregnancy. In these kinds of circumstances most of the women make the mistake of linking this tiredness and lack of energetic feeling with the other things happening around them, while, in reality this is an early sign of pregnancy. There are several factors responsible for this tiredness. Some of them are change in the hormones, chemistry of the body and the activity that the body of any woman needs to do at the time of the conception. If you are experiencing this kind of fatigue then it is better to take more sleep.
Nausea, Increase In Appetite
Nausea is a distinctive early sign of pregnancy. Here again people make the mistake of associating it with the food poisoning, stomach flu or anything similar to this. If the nausea continues and does not subside then one must assume that she is pregnant. Many women also feel increased hunger as compared to when they were not pregnant. This is very much natural process because the body requires more nutrition for the growth and development of the embryo. On the contrary some of the women may feel a complete loss of the appetite. In some cases the women may complaint of lost appetite or increased appetite on different days varying with the other early pregnancy symptom.

Hi there, I had a weird period this month and was hoping to learn from anothers EXPERIENCE?
Hi, my husband and i have been ttc for 5 months now.
My period was 3 days long and pink, but mainly brown. It was very spotty. Never like this ever, I am always 6days. This was 10 days ago.
Since before then I have been having light cramping. I feel very wet down there, and keep thinking my real period is going to start soon.
I checked my cm and it is egg white and there is a large abundance of it.
So my questions are, if you have experienced something simuliar and what was the issue?
Is a whole lot of egg white cm an early pregnancy sign?
Why was my period so light and short?
and lastly why have i been cramping lightly on and off during the day for the last 12 days?
Thank you so much for any insight and help!
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow.

Do not put your hopes too high as you may not be pregnant. It is normal to have lots of cm and cramping 2 wks prior to period. Period that last for 3days are very normal too. Go seek professional advise if you have any doubts as they are the only persons who have the answers. Good lucks and lots of baby dusts for you ****

You might have a yeast infection, cutting your regular period short…..or you might be pregnant…..try taking a home pregnancy test.

sounds like you had implantation bleeding you should do a pregnancy test feeling like you are going to start your period any moment is one of the first signs of early pregnancy here is some info hope it helps
Implantation Bleeding
After ovulation the egg travels into the uterus and burrows into the lining of the uterus. For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting. This is called implantation bleeding. This is sometimes confused for an early period.
What does implantation bleeding or spotting look like?
Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge.
Implantation bleeding or menstrual period?
Implantation bleeding normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. A normal menstrual cycle generally starts off light and then gets heavier. Spotting can sometimes be the sign of an early period. If this is the case, the spotting will pick up to heavier bleeding. If you have spotting right around the time your period would normally start, it can be more confusing. You will need to take the wait and see approach or take a pregnancy test to determine pregnancy.
What if I feel like my period is about to start?
If you have had spotting and think it might be implantation bleeding you may be paying very close attention to your body. If you are trying to get pregnant, the good news is that early pregnancy symptoms feel very similar to the start of your period. If you are pregnant you may begin to notice symptoms of early pregnancy right around the time your period would normally start and sometimes sooner than that. If you suspect pregnancy you can test for pregnancy as early as ten days after ovulation.
good luck
